> Three people were selected for the study: the first person received a 24” monitor, the second participant – a 25” monitor with a 21:9 aspect ratio, and the third participant – two 24” monitors. The study lasted for three weeks.

This study is seriously flawed in another way. I'm assuming that the 24" is 16:9 which has a height of 11.8" The 'larger' 25" ultrawide has a height of 9.8"--I would hate working on that for the same reason I don't like 16:9 laptops--the height of 16:10 or 3:2 are so much more useful.

Hah, yeah. I felt pretty dumb when I realized that a 40" LCD is about as tall as a 29" 4:3 CRT (est. from memory), so SD video on the LCD is no bigger than I had 20 years ago.
